Dogs do so much for us humans. Some do police work, others go on rescue missions, and many simply greet us at the door with snuggles and kisses. On August 26th, we all have an opportunity to celebrate our dogs and show appreciation for their kind, loving personalities. National Dog Day was founded in 2004 to promote dogs and draw attention to those needing adoption from shelters. Luckily, Long Island has plenty of dog-friendly places where you can celebrate. Here are a few top places our real estate agents recommend.

Can you think of a better way to spend a weekend evening than sipping your favorite wine while listening to live music? The many wineries and vineyards across Long Island make for great live music venues. Wineries are often considered peaceful places where you can relax and enjoy the company of friends, so it's not surprising many host live entertainment as well. Our real estate agents are here again with a list of five top Long Island wineries with regular live performances.
